The understated luxury of the Maybach slowly came to a halt, as Second Young Master Grant, Connor Grant, stood by the car door waiting for his older brother. He had made a mistake yesterday and was eager to find a chance to prove himself, hoping to appease his not-so-human elder brother.
Knock, knock—
Connor Grant, with a flattering smile on his face, waited for about a minute without seeing the driver open the door and took it upon himself to knock on the car window.
"Uh... Eldest Young Master Grant, are we at the hotel?" Half-asleep Lily Shaw mumbled, eyes blurry and half-open, snuggling against the man's firm chest like a lazy kitten waking from a dream.
"Yes." Eldest Young Master Grant stared straight at her adorable sleeping face, unable to resist leaning down to kiss her, just as the car window was knocked!
"Eldest Young Master Grant, we're at the hotel. Time to get out," Lily Shaw suddenly became alert when she sensed the warm breath of the man on her face.
Seeing her wake up and want to escape his embrace, Aiden Grant's heart sank instantly. She kept calling him "Eldest Young Master Grant," but he wanted to hear her sweetly call him "husband."
"Honey, you've been nestled in my arms for an hour, and now you're ready to leave as soon as you wake up? Is it really that cheap?" Aiden Grant hinted, closely watching her face, holding her tightly so she couldn't move but obediently stayed cuddled in his arms.
Lily Shaw quickly understood his implication, thought for a moment, then her eyebrows arched and her lips slightly curled into a smile as she reached out and hugged Eldest Young Master Grant's neck, "Husband, thank you. I'm just worried the guests might wait too long. Husband, I'm sorry."
The displeasure in Aiden Grant's heart dissolved at once; he enjoyed Lily Shaw's coy charm. No matter how angry he was, it would disappear immediately when she acted sweetly.
"Honey, kiss me." Eldest Young Master Grant leaned in, waiting for the little kitten in his arms to kiss him first.
Lily Shaw gritted her teeth in annoyance in her heart but put on a smiling face and lifted her lips up. A simple kiss on the cheek? She didn't mind, just like greeting a foreign friend.
"Honey... you're quite enthusiastic." Eldest Young Master Grant suddenly turned his head, and Lily Shaw's red lips landed steadily on his, even if it only lasted for a few seconds.
"Husband, let's get off." Lily Shaw resisted wiping her mouth, feeling Eldest Young Master Grant's cunning nature!
Knock, knock—
Connor Grant fearlessly knocked on the car window again, but this time he didn't have to wait long as the car window lowered.
Eldest Young Master Grant's cool, stern face appeared, and his cold voice made Connor Grant, eager to prove himself, tremble, "Open the door."
"Brother, sister-in-law, please get off." Connor Grant's eagerness to please became even more evident; seeing his elder brother's expression made him realize he'd messed up.
Lily Shaw glanced at Connor Grant, her pupils slightly contracting, and her hand suddenly tightened on Aiden Grant's arm.
Even if her abnormality lasted only a few seconds, the man holding her saw it clearly. The little woman in his arms showed a strange reaction upon seeing Connor. What unspoken connection could there be between his wife and his brother?
Lily Shaw's face was still veiled beneath heavy lace, but Connor Grant didn't care about her appearance at the moment—he only wanted to prove himself well enough to prompt Aiden Grant to lessen his punishment.
"Let's go in." Eldest Young Master Grant, in front of his younger brother, held an air of authority without anger. Connor Grant feared his brother's anger the most and was quick to respond.
